I have always wondered if there are downsides to LL bulbs? They claim twice the life and are usually the same price or pennies more from what I remember. I always seem to buy the LL when there's the option but when they are sold out I don't seem to ever notice a difference other than feeling...

I've been fighting an exhaust leak for a while and haven't been able to see any cracks or leaks so I had the great idea of trying to snug down the manifold bolts. Everything was going great(all the bolts were tight) until I went for that one terrible bolt. To get the wrench on the bolt it has...

Has anyone had experince with the bigger more elaborate types of spring compressors? I see a few types on ebay, some use bottle jacks and others a large screw to compress the springs and they don't seem that pricey, under $150. I hate dealing with the typical small spring clamps and feel like I...

I recently bought a house and plan to be there for a while and it currently has just a single 110 outlet in the garage(well one for the door opener on the ceiling too). I have a buddy who is a general contractor and said he will hook me up all at cost so I want to try and figure out a good plan...

Maybe someone has some knowledge that can help me out. I recently bought a house and running into the joys of home ownership now. I have 4 smoke alarms, all hardwired with batteries and seem pretty new. One alarm in the bedroom beeps once a minute as if indicating a dead battery. If I unplug...

My new place has the gas water heater in the garage, I've never had that setup before. Are there any worries with that? I have always used the weekend warrior types of chemicals and kept a 5 gallon gas can in my garage. There are two decent size vents and all my shop stuff will be on the...
